The resturant was composed of 2 areas, the main dining was in the actual house while the alternative dining was in the barn .... note to all those girls who want to looks sexy for your date, heels + gravel= walking like you are in Michael Jackson's Thriller video Got the Escargots de Bourgogn: These were snails served on top of a broiche with garlic pesto butter. Petite, a perfect sized appetizer for 2. There were 7 snails and so far the best I have had yet. They were plump, tender, and perfectly cooked. Oh and the garlic pesto butter.... it took all my might not to lick the plate clean. This butter was not for garlic lovers, but garlic obsessed freaks ( like me). The broiche was forgettable, almost a giant slale crouton, or better yet, a platform for the snails to show off on. Lapin à la Moutarde: My general rule of thumb is that I don't eat any animal what is "cute". So therefore I have never had rabbit. I took a bite... " Your just ate a little bunny!!" my boyfriend taunted. What an asshole. Images of little bunnies hopping around, their cute little nose sniffing at stuff instantly flashed in my mind. I swallowed. Well... I know this sounds clique, but it did taste like chicken. It had stringier meat fibers, a more sour flavor (possibly from the mustard seeds) but overall like chicken. It was moist, and the mustard cream went beautifully with it. La Bouillabaisse de Marseille: This was a pretty big disappointment. The broth was very watered down, and none of the flavors seemed to penetrate any of the seafood. I had to actually use (gasp!) salt. The mussels and clams were also very small, the fish and scallops, overly cooked and almost rubbery. Worth the price? No. + its BYOB!!... check out pictures and more on my blog! read more

Bumping up to 5 stars. We have been back a few times since we originally reviewed the place and it's just a terrific dining experience. The food is great. The service is friendly. Both dining rooms have such a warm vibe that you feel like you're eating a wonderful meal at a friend's house. I recommend you grab a bottle of wine and get over there immediately. read more

I would like to thank spring mill cafe for making our dinner very special! I submitted special requests in my open table reservation and everything was perfect! The food was absolutely delicious and it's is definitely a place to go to for a nice dinner with a loved one! read more

Spring Mill Cafe - French Near Me - Conshohocken, Pennsylvania

See all

This is a special place. Nice ambience, friendly staff and amazing food. The grass fed filet may have been one of the best steaks I ever had. As for brunch, the eggs Benedict and the French toast were delicious. read more

Meh. That pretty much sums our whole experience...we were seated in the barn, which on a non cold night might have been romantic, but if it's cold that's pretty much what you take away. Other than the cold, the atmosphere was charming. The food however left much to be desired...the mushroom soup was over processed and under seasoned. The filet had a odd flavor and the potatoes left much to be desired. The steak knife had seen better days, as the one I was given might have been as old as the barn itself. And as I should be able to cut filet with a butter knife, well that says something. Dessert was the one last chance at redemption, apple bread pudding, and they fell short. Meh. Just meh. read more

quaint little french restaurant. great brunch place in the area they have areas for private parties as well, perfect for bridal showers and baby showers read more

This a quaint little spot. It is perfect for a quiet romantic meal with a loved one. I suggest that you make reservations, as the seating is limited. They do not rush you eating, so you will spend a couple hours for the meal. Food is excellent and an ecclectic mix of flavors based in french cooking. They blend in flavors from other cultures and styles of cooking. I would go here again for a great French meal in a romantic spot. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to venture outside our normal Sunday brunch routine to check out this small french cafe after reading about it in Philadelphia Magazine. The menu changes weekly so I won't tell you about the amazing french toast with cooked apples and caramel sauce we shared...oh wait. I have no words for the explosion of happiness that went on in my mouth. I actually can't remember the other thing I ate, it clearly wasn't that special. The small dining area used to be a general store and much of the character has been retained. This does not allow for much privacy between tables but is sweet and not found very often. My boyfriend went the next week to a cooking demonstration held by the chef here and really enjoyed it, he said he felt like a scene from Julie and Julia. I think we will revisit in spring when they open up the upper deck for outdoor seating. read more

Great service here and food is tasty. 1830s building is really neat to. Had omelet and awesome coffee. Lisa was very personable and helped make choices easy:) read more

Had a lovely relaxing meal at Spring Mill Cafe. The food was delicious and served with great presentation. Especially delicious we're their desserts! When you are looking for good French food this should be your go-to place. read more

This romantically rustic, French country-style BYOB wins my "Best Restaurant for the Rain" award. If you like the weathered antique look then this place is for you. Throw in a soothing drizzle on top of the sounds of close conversations, a good bottle of wine and you have the makings of a great restaurant experience. The food selection is very good. I recommend the B'stilla Marocaine, which has been deliciously consistent since I first tried it a few years ago. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back. read more

A perfect Brunch. I had been to the Spring Mill Cafe for dinner before and loved it so I couldn't wait to try their brunch. It exceeded my expectations. I brought along a friend who lives in Center City, I live way out in the Burbs so it was the perfect meeting place for us. I began with the brioche and lemon curd(both made there!) and my friend had the endive salad with fennel and poached pears- both equally fabulous. For my entree, I tried the Mushroom,Herb and Goat cheese Omelette with roasted potatoes - so fluffy and perfect- my accomplice ordered the brioche french toast which came with strawberries and cream that day. I have to say, between the knowledgeable staff to the good coffee and the food made clearly with time and care, this place is 5 stars for me and I would recommend it to anyone. read more

Spring Mill Cafe was the perfect place for us to have small, wonderful wedding. Ezra made us feel so comfortable and answered all our questions.He was very knowledgeable and had a way of making us feel calm. The staff were so attentive from the moment our guests arrived. We never felt rushed, and everyone was so professional. Very reasonable prices and fantastic food. Would certainly recommend for anyone looking at a venue for a small wedding. read more

My fiancee and I were looking for a place for our rehearsal dinner and we found it at Spring Mill Cafe. We went early on a Friday evening to test out the food before we committed to the idea. For private parties, you can either use the front of the restaurant or you can use a little private house they have. They have you pick out the menu and everyone gets soup, salad, entree and dessert. I loved the atmosphere of this adorable BYOB. It was set up like someone's home with books, paintings and knickknacks everywhere. I started this yelp review much before my wedding - and now I'm married - whoops! But I did have my rehearsal dinner there and it was everything I could have asked for. We had the main house to ourselves and our 35 or so guests. We had a delicious meal and the servers were all very sweet and accommodating. My in-laws, who planned the party, picked out menu and the guests had a choice of 4 entrees as well as appetizers and desserts. I was very happy with Spring Mill and I would suggest having a private party here! read more

Finally decided to check out all of the hype surrounding this local gem. It truly is a special occasion restaurant wrapped up in a quaint, cottage setting. The food that we had was quite good and fresh. We liked that it was a BYOB. The parking is a bit cramped in the parking lot, so make sure to allow for some time to get settled. Our server didn't go into the history of the building or specifics of the menu so much as others have Yelped--it would have been definitely appreciated (maybe next time). The portions are all about the right size--nothing way too large. One note, if you are vegetarian, they offer a vegetarian option, but basically, it is the side dishes of all of the other main dishes put together at the chef's discretion. In other words, there is no main entree on the vegetarian plate. It took a few times asking our server to finally understand that (I wasn't trying to be rude just really wanted clarification, but she may have been offended). I went with the grass-fed ribeye steak it was great :-) read more

Wonderful food and a nice atmosphere. We had eaten at Spring Mill Cafe and loved it so we decided to have my daughter's bridal shower here. It was a beautiful event with great food. Everyone loved everything. Amanda was great to work with. She took care of everything and was a big help planning the event. The day of the event, Amanda was there to assist in every possible way. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! read more

Had a lovely brunch here with a friend at the beginning of March. It's not a huge place and was tiny bit cramped at our table. The food was wonderful. I had a seasonal butternut squash soup and a mushroom omelette. The soup was superb. And, one of my favorite things, we were not rushed. In a true French culinary fashion, my friend and I were allowed time to chat, time to eat, time to digest between courses, and time to truly enjoy our meal. One thing to note is that the entrance and parking lot are a bit strange. I almost missed the turn in. read more

I have lived in the area my whole life. I have driven by this restaurant probably 4 days a week, and always disregarded it because I looked at the menu one day many years ago and always remembered seeing pate and having that one item burned into my brain. I WAS WRONG!! This place is awesome. The old general store feel is awesome. The server was very knowledgeable with the menu, ingredients, and the overall history of the building. All of these great things were backed up by the excellent food that came out of the kitchen. One of the people in our group has a very difficult time passing up Foie Gras, and was very excited to see it all over the menu and available as an add on the Filet. This place is a truly fantastic BYO. Do your self a favor and go have dinner there. read more

Horrible experience. I heard about the spring mill safe and I ordered some seafood and desert. The same night when I got home, I felt sick and I vomited and had a fever, with diarrhea. I highly suspect that the seafood is not fresh enough and I have not had diarrhea or fever for more than a year. I really should have stopped eating when I first s need the strange smell from the scalp but I did not. My fault. Prospective customers: take care if you go to eat; pay special attention to the freshness of the food, for your own health n safety. read more

Two stars because the wait staff were very friendly, the interior was cozy and because I love byobs. I'm a picky eater and for 30 entrees in the suburbs, I expect my food to taste better than Applebee's. I don't understand how this place got so many good reviews? Did someone pay these reviewers to make these reviews up or do people just have bad taste? Is it because I've been spoiled by NY restaurants? Seriously? Who paid these people to put up these good reviews!! First: the cheese platter. The assortment of cheeses was decent but when I asked the waitress if my grapes were washed and she said yes.... My grapes should have been washed. Unless someone in the kitchen doesn't know how to wash things, these grapes had a powdery film on them. I imagine the powdery film to be pesticides or dirt. Grapes aside- why was there honey in the middle of the plate? Just a big globe of honey? I've never seen this before? Serious? Why honey? If you could put any kind of sweetness in a plate that is suppose to be salty... What about agave? Not as sweet and over powering? Orrrr you can skip the honey altogether and just give us another sliver of cheese? My rabbit. Was mush. It was like someone made a French onion soup and put a rabbit in it. This rabbit must have been cooked in pieces because some of it was tough. Some of it was mushy. Not enough noodles in my 30 dollar rabbit French onion soup... I wish it was 15 dollars so I would kinda be getting what I paid for... The bass. Was. On. Top. Of. Mashed potatoes? Not on the side? But the kicker is that the mash was on top of tomato paste? thus the layers are: bottom to top- tomato paste, mash, bass, and then cook greens? I don't know who thought this dish was a good idea because it was not. I don't know who wrote any good reviews on this dish because this plate just had me confused? Who wants to eat tomato paste with their fish? Why not un-layer this plate, nix the tomato paste and just hAve a dish that is simple and not confusing because the bass was nicely cooked? Te bass however tasted weird and mushy when eaten together with the mash. Pork chops: dry. Really freaken dry. Really really really dry. Tough is another word. Favors were ok. I wish this plate was $11 dollars instead of 30 because that would be the most I would have paid for this dish. Creme brûlée was good. No complaints about it. The custard was not thick and creamy. It was on the lighter side. Overall, I had a good time here. Not because of the food but because of my company and the bottle of wine I bought. This is a good place to have appetizers and desserts and just hang out. It's not loud or crowded and no one is rushing you out of the door. This restaurant pretends to be French but is more like an American who saw one French cooking show and decided to open up a restaurant. read more

On a snowy night this was the perfect spot for an intimate romantic dinner. The place really made you feel like you were out in the French countryside. Due to the weather only a few other people were present. We were seated in a cozy candlelit cubby with a view of the snow falling outside. The service was outstanding, friendly and informative. Each dish was carefully explained. This is a BYOB so bring some good French wines to pair with your meal. I had the escargots which were served with garlic butter and leaks. My wife and I shared the charcuterie board with crusty French bread to spread the assortment of pâté and rillettes. The chicken cassoulet was hands down the best chicken I have ever had, extremely crisp on the outside moist and juicy on the inside. My wife's Pot au Feu had fall apart tender beef short ribs with perfectly cooked root vegetables. A creamed kale side was an excellent way to serve this vegetable. Even though we were stuffed by the generous portions we made room for the Daffodil Cake, it was so light angel food cake filled with a citrus cream and toasted coconut. We left happy. Can not wait for another romantic night to enjoy a taste of France without the airfare. read more

Exceed ALL the expectations! That is the crux of our experience here. From the moment we first pulled into the awkward parking lot I had a feeling we were in for a good meal. Warm and inviting, the atmosphere is begging you to contribute a great conversation to the lively buzz filling every corner. The menu sounds fairly simple, but it really just shows how quality ingredients and prep go a long way. Escargot is a must try. Wonderful flavor, and the actual snail...how is it so soft? The last time I had it there was a bit too much garlic though. Wife had an appetizer portion of the scallops and loved it. Good presentation with the shell too. Pate Tasting is an adventure, they don't tone it down. Beef Rillette had a very distinct liver undertone. Country Pate is extremely good. I had the braised rabbit with prunes, a leg and portion of its torso arrive in a bowl of red wine and Armagnac broth. Potatoes, prunes, and I believe a few other things were in there as well. Very good flavor, a homey kind of dish. The grass fed filet is just decadent. Worth the extra money in the hands of this restaurant, it was succulent, flavorful, and perfect. Madeira sauce complemented it wonderfully. Wife has had the fish of the day a few times, and it has yet to be anything but excellent. read more

The Spring Mill Cafe was the perfect venue for a cozy, delicious, and enjoyable post-Holiday Sunday brunch with my family & one of my cousins. The interior of the main space is rustic, homey, and elegant, which was a nice setting to catch up with my cousin. The BYO aspect is great, too! I ordered the Winter Kale Salad to start, and then the Omelet Du Jour (with spicy lamb sausage and gruyere.) Both were really delicious, fresh, and packed with flavor. The salad was a light and refreshing start to the salad (although I don't think the greens were actually kale, looked more like spinach/arugula - not an issue, though - still delicious.) The omelet was really delicious - the lamb sausage was a phenomenal touch. Overall, our experience was perfect. Our server and the entire service team was attentive, extremely friendly, and all around very nice. read more

I recently had brunch here, and I had the most wonderful time! The staff was awesome. We were a large group, and they accommodated us beautifully. Lisa even took the time to do a little photo shoot! The food is fabulous, and the restaurant is so, so cute! I'll definitely be going back! read more

Did you know that they cancel your open table reservation so you don't leave a bad review?

1st timers to the cafe and came for Sunday Brunch. This quaint restaurant is the real thing; so quintessential of a French country experience in Conshohocken. Hazelnut Escargot, farm fresh eggs, and such wonderful service! We were even seated at a table for two nestled in a little nook. Everything was freshly prepared and cooked perfectly. Can't wait to return to try dinner! read more

Excellent garlic butter-sauteed escargot, as others have mentioned but the pate trio plate is my favorite dish here. You get a sampling of the chicken, country, and rillette. The truffled chicken is especially savory. The cassoulet with pork belly, duck, sausage, and beans is great, but the rabbit is also a good, healthier option. Service is always fantastic. If you are here for brunch, I highly recommend the caviar omelette with a side of roasted potatoes. It sounds like a strange combination but it is delicious. And the potatoes are perfectly roasted and seasoned. It will be hard to return to the traditional, bland hash browns, though, so be forewarned! Cafe au lait adds the finishing touch. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Conshy. read more

Very nice, will definitely be back. My wife and I got a gift cert for this BYOB on the outskirts of Conshohocken and were pleasantly surprised how good the food was there. She had the rabbit and I had the braised short ribs and they were both wonderful. We appreciate the casual charm of the cottage like dining room and the quiet coziness. read more

This French Bistro is tucked safely away from the hustle and bustle of the main roads of Conshy. It's a real gem of place; both quirky and quaint. Perfect for a date. Very romantic. The converted farmhouse serves your classic bistro fare with a special touch. Chefs use local, seasonal produce in handful of dishes. Service was welcoming , charming and courteous. It's a BYOB, but the two of us were offered a glass of wine on the house by the waiter upon seating. They have a small, limited menu, which you can tell translates into all the details being carefully tended to. To start our meals, we each ordered the Petite Salade Verte (Farmers greens with house mustard vinaigrette). For entrees, my boyfriend ordered the Certified Angus Filet Mignon Maison. I ordered the Seared Scallops; served in a coconut miso broth with wilted baby bok choy and black jasmine rice. And for dessert we shared an order of vanilla ice cream (served in a wine glass with berries) and cups of delicious brewed coffee. Décor and setting are wonderful. I felt like I had been flown to the French countryside and gone on a bicycling holiday in Provence where I stumbled upon a beautiful French country inn. read more

So glad to be able to dine outdoors and feel safe with all of their CoVid precautions. Wonderful food and a little taste of France that is so appreciated right now. read more

Loved Brunch but was not a fan of the dinner menu. I will be trying the dinner again sometime (probably) but definitely coming back for the brunch. The food is very simple so there is not much room for error. Unfortunately at dinner they didn't cook the steak well and I was craving flavor. At brunch everything was cooked perfectly and the food was amazing. I even liked the menu more at brunch. This is simplistic yet elegant food. Hit or miss. This place is cute, small, and came out of the colonial days. Love the ambiance and the food is very good. The quality is top notch and I'm hoping we just had a bad dinner menu bc the brunch was amazing and it's BYO!!!! I will update review after our next dinner here. It's definitely worth coming and trying. It's a hidden gem! read more

Just hosted my daughter's Bridal Shower at the Spring Mill Cafe on Saturday (April 2019). It exceeded our expectations. The small farm house was charming, the food outstanding, the staff wonderfully attentive and friendly and the shower 2-layer cake was to die for! We had a small group of 17 and were cozy in this lovely rustic location. I would highly recommend this space for a gathering or the restaurant for a terrific dining experience! ......Joyce B read more

I came here for lunch yesterday. I regret not ordering a full bowl of their seafood bisque...or 2 bowls for that matter! The octopus salad was lovely and I even got a taste of my friends smoked salmon,cucumber, goat cheese sandwich -- a fantastic choice that I was originally planning on ordering. Final verdict: Delicious and will go there again...for lunch, which I think is reasonably priced at $$ I was surprised there were not more people there for lunch. read more

My wedding was perfect thanks to Ezra and the staff at the Spring Mill Cafe. After beginning to plan a large elaborate wedding we quickly realized this was not what we wanted for our big day. We went to dinner at the Spring Mill Cafe one evening when trying to decide what to do for our wedding, and instantly fell in love. We planned a small reception for 25 in a few months and couldn't have been happier. Not only was Ezra and the staff extremely accommodating, they helped make our planning easy and stress free. My husband and I knew that we did not want "typical" wedding food and food was one of our top priorities when planning. Spring Mill Cafe met and then blew away our expectations. The appetizers were mouth watering, the entrees were 5 star and the cake was beyond amazing. Nathan was our event manager for the entire evening and made sure that we wanted for nothing. He was exceptional. We truly could not have been happier and we recommend Spring Mill Cafe for your next event big or small! read more

I was brought here on a date last week and had a really excellent meal. I have just moved to Philly so this restaurant was a great find. The service was perfect, Nathan in particular really made us feel very welcome and well looked after. We had a very bad start to the evening when a very rude old couple began shouting and cursing at us for smoking outside, even though we had asked the restaurant was it ok to smoke first. She actually spat out " your drug addiction is forcing us to go inside". And then they walked in and came back outside 2 minutes later. Dramatic! Honestly, I felt like just leaving at that stage but the staff were so nice, we decided to stay and have our meal. And we were both glad that we did as it was excellent. Definitely recommend the food and service, just beware of scary old couples, ranting like possessed gremlins who own the world and you should be fine. read more

We had the pleasure of hosting my mothers 60th birthday brunch at Spring mill cafe. We had about 20 people so we were lucky enough to be able to use the farmhouse. Talk about a beautiful and unique building! Most importantly, the food was amazing! The menu consisted of their brioche bread with berries or bean soup as an appetizer. For the entree, there was a choice between quiche, Apple brown sugar French toast and their chicken salad. Everything was delicious and the ingredients were so fresh! For dessert, they made the most delicious chocolate cake! It was so rich and decadent. Since they are a byob, we brought in bottles of champagne and a few beers. The service was outstanding! Everything from picking out the menu with their owner, Ezra to the day of the party ran very smoothly. Nathan was our head waiter and he was a blast! I would jump at the chance to host another party here! read more

50th birthday celebration here, and couldn't have been better. We rented out the barn and it was a perfect venue with room for kiddies to play. Service staff was accommodating and professional, on point, and skillful. They handled a crowd of 22 with ease and patience, despite 4 year olds running around and the host's neuroses :) . The menu was beautifully presented, the food was cooked to perfection (chef didn't mind special requests), personalized cake was included in the cost, and it was all delicious. We are picky and critical, and it was simply great. Thank you, Ezra, and Spring Mill for making our birthday celebration a truly happy one. We will see you again soon. read more

This is a nice brunch. There was a dinner party in the main hall so we were sent to the nearby farmhouse despite having a reservation. The decor in the farm house is nice although sitting in one area will create the illusion that you're simply in someone's kitchen. Maybe its not an illusion. The gluten free baguettes are basically cheese. Marvelous. read more

Have lived in the area for 20 years and can't believe I haven't been here 'til now. The entire property oozes charm! We enjoyed a wonderful anniversary dinner here. We started with the quail appetizer and the cheese plate. Then we had the skate (first time, won't be the last time) and the Lancaster grass-fed filet. Both of us cleaned our plates! Dessert was the clafoutis and daffodil cake. Service was attentive and well-paced; it is clear they know of what they speak. When we left at 8pm, the restaurant was buzzing with happy diners. read more

Went here for dinner. It's BYOB, quiet, a nice location to sit and have a conversation. Service was friendly and courteous and the Salmon was delicious. Would definitely go back. read more
